Abstract
We developed a VSe-NiSe2@CoSe2 catalyst to increase active sites, fine-tune the electronic structure and optimize Co 3d orbital spin states, enabling superior ethanol oxidation (1.33 V@j10). Replacing the OER with the EOR reduced the water-splitting voltage by 200 mV, decreased reaction energy consumption by 60%, lowered the battery charging voltage by 300 mV, and increased the round-trip efficiency by 10.8%.
